I have a twitter account but have been doing nothing with it until Cyclone Yasi started heading to Australia. My friend's daughter lives there and we could not find anything up-to-date online, on tv --most of it was literally a day late. Until I took a look at twitter . . . found several people "tweeting" from the affected areas, and found really up to the minute update links that were retweeted.
So, I'm willing to rethink and retry. It'll keep my "scanning skills" honed at least. It kind of reminds me of the days of telegrams.
So, if you want to follow me, ohkphoto, I will follow you!
